This site is only possible because of the great efforts of several organizations to make public domain images available online. Thanks to them, we have been free to compile this wonderful resource without needing to receive permission, work out contracts, or purchase images. Some of the places we gathered these illustrations from are:
A major contributor of digitized public domain natural history works, providing a treasure trove of insect illustrations.
